Abstract: A circuit includes a first and a second memory, a processor and a timer. The processor generates a sequence of bits encoding a CAN frame and processes the sequence of bits to detect a sequence of PWM periods. The processor stores values of a first parameter of the PWM periods into the first memory, and values of a second parameter of the PWM periods into the second memory. The timer comprises a first register which reads from the first memory a value of the first parameter of a current PWM period. The timer comprises a counter which increases a count number and resets the count number as a function of the value of the first register.

Abstract: A device includes a master device, a set of slave devices and a bus. The master device is configured to transmit first messages carrying a set of operation data message portions indicative of operations for implementation by slave devices of the set of slave devices, and second messages addressed to slave devices in the set of slave devices. The second messages convey identifiers identifying respective ones of the slave devices to which the second messages are addressed requesting respective reactions towards the master device within respective expected reaction intervals. The slave devices are configured to receive the first messages transmitted from the master device, read respective operation data message portions in the set of operation data message portions, implement respective operations as a function of the respective operation data message portions read, and receive the second messages transmitted from the master device.

Abstract: A testing tool includes a clock generation circuit generating a test clock and outputting the test clock via a test clock output pad, data processing circuitry clocked by the test clock, and data output circuitry receiving data output from the data processing circuitry and outputting the data via an input/output (IO) pad, the data output circuitry being clocked by the test clock. The testing tool also includes a programmable delay circuit generating a delayed version of the test clock, and data input circuitry receiving data input via the IO pad, the data input circuitry clocked by the delayed version of the test clock. The delayed version of the test clock is delayed to compensate for delay between transmission of a pulse of the test clock via the test clock output pad to an external computer and receipt of the data input from the external computer via the IO pad.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a processing system includes at least one hardware block configured to change operation as a function of configuration data, a non-volatile memory including the configuration data for the at least one hardware block, and a configuration module configured to read the configuration data from the non-volatile memory and provide the configuration data read from the non-volatile memory to the at least one hardware block. The configuration module is configured to: receive mode configuration data; read the configuration data from the non-volatile memory; test whether the configuration data contain errors by verifying whether the configuration data are corrupted and/or invalid; and activate a normal operation mode or an error operation mode based on whether the configuration data contain or do not contain errors.

Abstract: A hardware secure element includes a processing unit and a receiver circuit configured to receive data comprising a command field and a parameter field adapted to contain a plurality of parameters. The hardware secure element also includes at least one hardware parameter check module configured to receive at an input a parameter to be processed selected from the plurality of parameters, and to process the parameter to be processed to verify whether the parameter has given characteristics. The hardware parameter check module has associated one or more look-up tables configured to receive at an input the command field and a parameter index identifying the parameter to be processed by the hardware parameter check module, and to determine for the command field and the parameter index a configuration data element.

Abstract: A processing system includes a processing unit configured to be connected to a memory with error detection and/or correction. The processing unit generates at least one read request for reading data from the memory, the read request including an address signal identifying an address of a given memory area in the memory. The processing system includes an error handling circuit connected to the memory for receiving an error signal containing an error code indicating whether the data read from the memory contains errors. The error handling circuit includes a hardware circuit configured to set a first error signal to the error code of the error signal when the address indicated by the address signal belongs to a first address range and to set a second error signal to the error code of the error signal when the address indicated by the address signal belongs to a second address range.

A one-time programmable memory includes original life cycle data. A hardware configuration module is configured to read the original life cycle data from the one-time programmable memory and provide the original life cycle data to the hardware block. The hardware configuration module includes a register providing the life cycle data used to change operation of the hardware block. The hardware configuration module is configured to store the original life cycle data in the register and receive a command from the processing unit. The command includes a write request for storing new life cycle data in the register.
